One of the best things about living in the Midwest is that you don’t have to travel far to have a really fun and affordable weekend with the family in Fort Wayne. It’s located in northeast Indiana almost equal distance from Chicago, Detroit, or Cincinnati making it an easy drive from almost anywhere in the…
Did you know that New Mexico is the only state in the country that has a State question: Red or green? Don’t be surprised if you hear this question from your waitress when ordering at a restaurant. Red sauce or green sauce is really the question. Of course, if you’re from New Mexico you might…

Glancing in my rear view mirror I see Charlottesville’s city lights behind me. Soon after the GPS kindly instructs me to turn left. I look around and wonder if I put the information in the GPS incorrectly. The turn takes me down a curving winding dark road that I hope takes me to my destination….

A lot of the focus is on entertainment and activities for a young crowd so it’s a natural fit for families…
